	Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance review (GBA) Reviewed on November 20, 2002 I am a Castlevania fanatic, and follow each and every one of them like a cult member follows his leader. You could say I am a member of the Castlevania cult. The games suck you in with it's excellent gameplay, and keep you there with it's addictive entertainment. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance is no exception to this spectacular series. This is one of the tops in the series, although it is not the best Castlevania on the GBA. That doesn't change anything still, it is a must have for any GBA ...
	Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance review (GBA) Reviewed on September 28, 2002 In fact, things are much more visually pleasing in all areas than last year's title, Circle of the Moon. No longer are you forced to find perfect lighting. The system's lack of lighting is still an issue, but not half the one it was previously. This is good, because you'll definitely want to see the title's spectacular happenings.
	Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance review (GBA) Reviewed on September 25, 2002 If you combine Symphony of the Night with Circle of the Moon, what do you get? Harmony of Dissonance. Pick this one up as soon as possible.
	Advance Wars review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown Factors like terrain and weather effect the performance, speed, and attack damage of units. Units have special abilities, like being able to capture bases or transport other units. Most of the game takes place on the map-screen, but once the option to attack is selected, a new, split-screen appears which shows the battle actually taking place in detail.
	Golden Sun review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown For now, Golden Sun is the best RPG you can purchase for the GBA, and the actual gameplay and battles are a blast. Unfortunately, I find the quality of the storyline and characters to be very important in an RPG, and Golden Sun simply does not come through in this area.
	Advance Wars review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown What makes the game good is that there are such a wide variety of ways the enemy can screw you over while you are hunting him down. Some maps have snow, which the enemy always finds a more welcome element than you do.
	Mario Kart: Super Circuit review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown And if you have a constant supply of Mario Karting friends, then don't expect to ever be rid of it. This one's a keeper.
	Castlevania: Circle of the Moon review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown The backgrounds are well detailed, and in certain parts actually move, and appear to be 3D. The animations in the game are fairly choppy, but you really won't notice if you're paying attention to the game. Menus and labels are clear and easy to read, and enemies are easily distinguishable. I was very happy with the graphics, but not astounded.
	Spyro: Season of Ice review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown The levels have been designed so you can visit any part of the them you want at any time, it's real 3-d freedom (Almost more free-roaming than the playstation games).
	Castlevania: Circle of the Moon review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown The Castlevania saga does not die. It continues on in this game in the form of Nathan Graves, who recieves the whip from his master, however also bringing on the jealousy of his bestfriend. This is more of an RPG like Castlevania with the leveling up system, and that just increases the fun of the game. This game strongly resembles that of the playstation hit Symphony of the Night, and it serves the games legacy well. This is one of the best in this outstanding series and here is why:
	Breath of Fire II review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown You walk through a dungeon and when you get to the end, you never find yourself thinking what a boring drag of a place it was. Instead, you're almost (dare I say it?) anxious for the next dungeon. How Capcom manages to keep things so fresh is beyond me, but each dungeon is unique and a pleasure to explore, even though enemies do attack more often than you might appreciate.
	Breath of Fire II review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown I felt that BOF2 was a complete let-down in terms of plot and story. The interesting introductory sequence makes you think that the storyline will be deep and interesting, but Capcom barely scratches the surface. Most of the game's dialogue is devoted to dull and silly conversations between the game's characters, who seem to have no real significance in the storyline, with the exception of Ryu.
	Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown Those familiar with the point-and-click genre will have no problem understanding the jist of Broken Sword. Firstly, your job as an innocent bystander to a mysterious bombing is to find out what happened, and why. Like other games of this genre, you will encounter many friends and foes along the way, with whom you may interact to find clues, gather information about the area, and uncover further elements of the plot.
	Doom review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown Probably the first aspect of this game you'll notice are the graphics. You'd also probably be wondering about them the most--Are they as good as the PC version? Are they up to the standard? And, sad as it may be, the answer is no. Let's face it--Having those kind of graphics on a handheld game would seem impossible, and really...
	F-Zero: Maximum Velocity review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown And because of the fact that there are NO other elements incorporated into the game except straight racing (and this isn't even realistic, folks), the game gets incredibly boring. I don't want to make it sound as if there is no fun whatsoever in this game; it's just that after a while, it can get rather dull.
	Golden Sun review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown If you're unsure of what you'd be enjoying visuals-wise when you buy Golden Sun, expect lush, detailed backgrounds with the most variant and complex color palette of any GBA game so far. Sprites are well-animated and look better than many PSX sprites.
	Golden Sun review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown From its incredible graphics to its engrossing storyline, Golden Sun proves that huge surprises can come in small packages.
	Golden Sun review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown After playing countless great RPGs by Square, everything else looked sub par. FF8, despite it’s flaws, was still a grand game and better than most games out there. So when I heard a non Square RPG, a RPG made by the folks who brought us Mario Tennis, was a god send... I had to check it out. (Apparently Camelot has a series of RPGs, but I didn’t know...I should look into it.)
	Klonoa: Empire of Dreams review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown It's a very solid and well thought out, if never gripping, game.
	Konami Krazy Racers review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown For one, it almost makes Konami seem cheap and unoriginal, because they use Nintendo's formula down to the tiny detail. For example, in Mario Kart, powerups and items were collected from little floating boxes... In Krazy Racers, you collect them from little floating bells.
